As far as every young footballer in Wales is concerned, Gareth Bale is an absolute hero.

The Real Madrid superstar has carried the Welsh national team through their successful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, scoring wonderful goals at crucial times to drive the side on to their first major tournament since 1958. He's bordering on minor deity status in his homeland.

This certainly can't do his reputation any harm. Gareth has just visited Welsh football club Sully Sports FC and surprised some of their youth players in a gesture that proves he's not just talented, he's also ruddy lovely.

In aid of McDonald's FAW Accredited Club Kit Scheme - an initiative which provides thousands of Adidas strips to youth football teams - Gareth rocked up at Sully's training ground to meet the young lads and lasses. Their reaction to his arrival was priceless. They were, as you might expect, absolutely over the moon.

Training alongside them for several drills, Gareth had time to show off his skills and even to score a worldy of a goal - everyone was mightily impressed. In fact, one kid was so enthused by Gareth's visit that he predicted Wales would go on to win the Euros.

That's probably going a bit far, to be honest. Still, if anyone can inspire them to do it, our Gareth can. He's just dreamy.
